DESCRIPTION:M can’t extricate herself\, either from her mother or her own t
hought processes. Beckett’s figures are entangled. In the shimmering web o
f their own language. And the boundaries of the stage. Where he has them p
ace out ever new variations of the emptiness of the existential void. Eh J
oe (1966) was Beckett’s first television piece. Old Joe doesn’t say a word
\, while he is chastised by a woman off-stage. His face is a landscape. Jo
e is played by the outstanding Danish actor Morten Grunwald\, who rose to
fame with his role as Benny Frandsen in the Olsen Gang films.\n\nOn the co
mpletely dark stage of Not I (1972) no actors are present. Only a spot-lit
mouth\, ejecting a breathless inferno of words. The piece is considered o
ne of the most innovative in theatre history: a visionary bridge to perfor
mance art.\n\nIn the balance of figurative texts and scenic imagery\, the
pieces strikingly mark the interface between ‘textual’ narration and today
’s ‘illustrative’ narration.\n\nAnd they lead us back to the quintessence
of the stage: body\, space\, voice. Through rhythmic sequences of movement
\, absolute concision of form and concentration\, one abruptly regains con
tact to the world.\n\nThe three pieces are staged by Walter Asmus\, Samuel
Beckett’s long-time artistic collaborator. The Berlin-based director has
alreadydirected every Beckett play written\, in various corners of the wor
ld.\n\nNo entry after the play startet!
